Judy Eschmann with Commissioner David Painter, left, and Commissioner Ed Humphrey.

Judy Eschmann, the Director of the Clermont County Department of Job & Family Services, retired on May 31 after five-and-a-half years at the helm of the agency here, and a career of 33 years in social work.
That can be a tough and challenging profession, but for Eschmann, it’s been a rewarding one. The Batavia native went to the University of Cincinnati intending to become a school teacher or social worker. After college, she took the civil service test required to work for what was then known as the county welfare department.
“Hamilton County hired me (a very young and green version of me) and I set out to ‘save the world’ and the next 33 ½ years just flew by,” she says.
